Fury for/from pool and temp power attacks?

Does Fury increase the damage of pool attacks (like Kick or Air Superiority), or of Brawl? How about temporary or veteran powers? Does using these attacks increase Fury?

I ask because I'm not sure I'm seeing a significant damage increase from my Kick or Brawl. I know that Controllers only get Containment on attacks from their powerset, and Scrappers only do criticals with attacks from their powerset... how about Brutes?

Yes to all.

No. Temporary powers do a set amount of damage based on AT and level, and do not accept any damage buffs of any kind.

I know pool attacks go towards Fury, but I'm not sure about temps. At the very least, those powers will generate aggro, which will cause enemies to attack you, which will in turn increase your Fury meter.

The only powers that i know of that are not affected by fury are the vet powers. Temp power are affected I believe, but i may be wrong.
Pool, temp, and vet powers all build fury. That i know for a fact.

This is correct. My (vet) [Sands of Mu] and [Ghost Slaying Axe] do the same damage whether I have 0 Fury or 100, or even during a Rage crash.

Temp powers use a special damage scalar, so that they do the same base damage for all ATs, but they are affected by damage buffs and debuffs. [Hand Grenades] and [Plasmatic Taser] are amazing in the hands of a brute, and if I find myself lacking in AoE in the low levels, I make sure to always pick up a few of both.

All pool, Ancillary, and Patron attacks are buffed by Fury.

All attacks you make, except those from pets and damage auras, will build your Fury, even if they miss. Note that some attacks (I'm looking at you [Sands of Mu]/[Shadow maul]/[Flurry]) have such long animations that Fury degrades more during the animation that it goes up from the attack. Spamming these attacks with the intention of building Fury isn't a very good idea.
